Extracellular acidosis is a novel danger signal alerting innate immunity via the NLRP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: The data suggest that acidic environment represents a novel endogenous danger signal alerting the innate immunity, and may contribute to inflammation in acidosis-associated pathologies such as atherosclerosis and post-ischemic inflammatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum Amyloid A Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome via P2X7 Receptor and a Cathepsin B-Sensitive Pathway

TL;DR: SAA can induce the expression of pro–IL-1β and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome via P2X7 receptor and a cathepsin B-sensitive pathway and may promote the production of IL-1 β in tissues during systemic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

p38δ MAPK: A Novel Regulator of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation With Increased Expression in Coronary Atherogenesis.

TL;DR: The p38&dgr; mitogen-activated protein kinase was identified as a novel regulator of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in primary human macrophages, and thus, represents a potential target for modulation of atherosclerotic inflammation.
